Small Clone mods trouble (wiring)

Post by zRobertez »

Okay, I had a different question in this thread before about my sc but I have another problem. As I was taking all the guts out of the case, all the wires just started breaking (as the rest of the internet warned me of). I replaced them how I thought I remembered where they came from but I think I messed the ones around that cap up and now when the pedal is engaged, I get a short, quiet siren sound and then nothing, no lit LED either.

If anyone has any pics of a similar cb's wiring or just knows how to do it, I would be eternally grateful :hug: I couldn't find any images that could help me

The red wire goes to the LED.
The top black wire to the DC jack with a resistor in between.
The bottom black wire to another spot on the DC jack.
The purple wire from the funky looking footswitch.
The black (bottomest) wire on the footswitch goes to the LED.

All the black wires are ones that did not break and I'm fairly certain they're in the correct spot

thanks, dodes!

No, I have a one spot. But I don't have that little adapter piece. Or I did and lost it in the Great War.

You could also drill out the hole a little bit so it works with the typical DIY panel-mount 9v jacks. I did that with a couple Russian Muffs I had.

Or the new smaller 9v jack from Bitches Love My Switches might even work as a direct replacement (no drilling):

Well I ordered a jack about a week ago with some other parts for more mods to this. But I also went to a local music shop and found the piece sonidero brought up. :D

I think the holes there are a size or two too small (in comparison to the steps on the unibit) for that low profile 9v jack. BLMS FOR LIFE!
